I like the idea of coloured streaks better than the current popular trend of getting a tattoo....or a few. Streaks can be as fun as you like for as long as you like. And then they dan be grown out or coloured over., unlike a tattoo.

I am working on the grey streaks too. Sigh. Sometimes I wonder if I should do something about that, and then I think I will be enslaved to the practice forever. I don't like that idea much.

Don't ever give one bit of credence to those who fear gray/grey hair. I've had the dye-ers who cover an entire long head of hair hat-brown say, "Oh, I'm just not READY to go gray/grey!" What does that even mean? Why would you say it to someone like me who got her first gray/grey (I know that slash is getting tiresome) at 17?Jody is a believer, too.To the tiredness. Yes, but it'll go away and at 55 I promise, you'll feel spry and inspired. It's the meno that makes one bone-tired. This too shall pass.Oh, yay for tomato sandwiches, Harriet!

Sleep. There is no substitute. Sometimes you need a lot, as when in the throes of menopause, or pre-meno. It's hard to get enough sleep when you have to get up early to get kids off, etc., and if you stay up late the way I tend to do. There is something about the night hours that gives me a second wind; I think it might be relief that I got through the day pretty much. But if I force myself to go to bed early -- and I mean 9 o'clock! -- I can catch up. Try sleeping, Frances Dear.

About Me

I'm a writer and a stay-at-home mom who keeps meaning to mop the floors because I think it would make me happy if I did. I love books and music and writing, spend entirely too much time in the dentist's chair (I bet I have more crowns than you do), and used to think I was sort of bohemian, but now I wonder. No tattoos. Minivan. That story.
